Description:
You don’t have to be an expert knitter to make this cozy cable beanie with Celtic style. Worked in the round on circular needles, pattern includes instructions for 4 weights and results in a one-size-fits-most teen/adult beanie. Using only knit, purl, front and back cable stitches, this beanie knits up quickly, especially with bulky and super bulky yarn, so it’s a perfect candidate for market prep. Not to mention, it results in a classic, traditional, squishy cable hat that is so popular with just about everyone right now! It makes the perfect gift, though, don’t forget to make one for yourself too!

Pattern is written in US terms for worsted, light bulky, bulky/chunky and super bulky weight yarn. It includes instructions for a variety of brim options. Charts and written instructions are also included. Beanie looks great with or without a pompom because of the careful detail in the crown, appealing to everyone.

One-size-fits-most teen/adults. Beanie fits approximately 18-22” head circumference.

Skill level:
Moderately easy pattern that you make yourself. Suitable for knitters with only a little experience, including knitters new to cables. The bulkier the yarn, the less cables in the pattern. Never knit cables before? Begin with the super bulky version--you will have them down in no time at all! This pattern results in a beautiful hat with lots of squishy cables and traditional style that will always be in fashion!
